Asiago Potato Stacks image

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large long Russet potatoes, about 1.5 pounds
1 pound yellow potatoes (yukon gold)
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped thyme, plus extra for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese, plus extra for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Fill a large bowl with water and as you peel each potato, place them in the water until you are ready to slice.
  • In a small bowl, microwave butter with oil, thyme, salt and pepper until butter is melted. Stir in grated cheese.
  • Dry each potato as you remove from water. Discard water. Using a mandolin, slice potato slices horizontally as thin as possible and place in a large bowl. When you are about half sliced, pour about half the butter mixture over top. Slice the rest and add to the bowl and top with remaining butter mixture.
  • With your hands gently work the potatoes and butter mixture to coat.
  • Spray a 12 cup standard muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Layer slices of potatoes in each cup dividing equally. Discard any liquid left in the bowl. Sprinkle a little additional cheese over each stack and bake for 40-50 minutes or until browned and crispy and cooked through.
  • Allow to sit for five minutes to set up, then serve, removing each portion from the muffin pan with a soup spoon.
